I have recently found many websites based on bollywood, hollywood and including some adult websites running widgetbucks and my question to widget bucks is - Is this allowed?
Chitika - A blog advertising company when launched was very strict in these kind of things because these companies basically run on the conversions of their advertisers and chitika used to ban all the accounts which gave maximum asian traffic + accounts which recieved many clicks but no/less conversions.
Widgetbucks has not yet started paying their publishers but they have already started banning publisher accounts. Here is a message i recieved from a friend whose account got banned because he was running widgetbucks on a website which had celebrity wallpapers.

The above website owner was running a bollywood wallpapers related website and i strongly suggest all the website owners to get rid of widgetbucks from their websites rather than getting banned from it.
Here are some websites which are running widgetbucks and will get banned for sure from their network.
Google Search WidgetBucks Running Websites with Bollywood Niche
Google Search WidgetBucks Running Websites with Hollywood Niche
Google Search WidgetBucks Running Websites with Adult Niche
This warning is given in well advance to everyone because once they start banning publishers will start spamming all the public forums giving widgetbucks a bad name without reasons. I hope everyone of you understand the above situation and start implementing the above notes. Just dont start talking in all the forums giving Mpire powered widget bucks a bad name.

I knew this was going to happen, I strongly believe that they are just a scam.

Seems you didnt read the whole post, because i was trying to explain everyone that stay alert before you guys get banned. How can you expect a company to pay you if they dont get conversions. The above post has some of my guess because widgetbucks is similar to chitika and since they recently announced that they wont allowe non-rnglish traffic, make sure you guys stop having the ads on these kind of websites.

Hi Amit ..
Nice post there but You should also have written this thing Widget bucks is not for small traffic sites where it is not going to be clicked.
And yes I am going to replace my Widget bucks code with those whom I can earn some money as well.

Also widget bucks does not have any ads related something other than shopping/products that’s the problem. Also i did not find ads related to my niche blogging.
Definitely better than adsense but i’m sure it would become worst after 4 months or near and paying more was only method to popularize than adsense..
Also widgets are not more clickable than adsense which are blended well.
